Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 24, 2018

Overview

This is the Privacy Policy of VHX Corporation (for the purposes hereof, “Vimeo,” “we” or “us”), a subsidiary of Vimeo, Inc. Vimeo provides an online video service (the “Vimeo OTT” or “our service”) that allows video content owners and licensors (each a “Producer”) to offer their video programs (each a “Program”) for sale to consumers via Producer websites and applications (each a “Producer Site” or “Producer App,” respectively) that Vimeo powers.

Consumers: In order to purchase a Program (including through a subscription), a consumer (“you”) must create an account with (i) Vimeo; and (ii) the Producer offering the Program. By creating an account an account with a Producer, you agree to provide your information (as described more fully in Section 2) to the Producer as well as Vimeo. By using the Vimeo OTT Service, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Producers: In order to use our service to sell Programs to consumers, a Producer must create an account with Vimeo (a “Producer account”). Where the context permits, references to “you” in this Privacy Policy shall include Producers. By creating a Producer account, (i) you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy; and (ii) you agree to comply with our Acceptable Consumer Privacy Practices Policy with respect to consumer information that you receive.

Producer Privacy Practices

When you create an account with a Producer, the Producer will receive your account information, including email address, Purchase history (but not payment card information), location (as determined by IP address), and activities related to your use of the Producer’s Programs, Program Sites, and Program Apps. This information will be made available to the Producer via the Vimeo OTT Service. Producers are subject to Vimeo’s Acceptable Consumer Privacy Practices Policy. If you believe that a Producer is not complying with that policy, please notify us.

Account Security

You are solely responsible for (i) maintaining the security of your account(s) and (ii) all activity that occurs under your account(s). You must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account(s). If you forget your account login information, you may request that we send it to the email address associated with your account(s).

Emails

When you create an account, you may receive certain emails:

Transaction emails: When you first register with Vimeo, we may send you a welcome email that provides information about the Vimeo OTT Service and your account.

Some Producers may email you directly (i.e., through non-Vimeo systems). Vimeo does not control these emails and opting out of Vimeo-sent emails will not cause an opt-out with respect to these emails. To opt out of emails sent directly by Producers, please follow the opt-out instructions set forth in the Producers’ emails.
